Thank you for landing on my fundraising page, you're just a few clicks (and some credit card details) away from feeling all warm and fuzzy inside!
Here's why I'll be running (jogging, plodding, crawling) 13.1 miles this October:
Someone, somewhere in the UK suffers a stroke every three and a half minutes. In fact 1 in 6 people worldwide will suffer a stroke in their lifetime with 31% of those affected under the age of 65.
Strokes can have a huge impact on sufferers and their families and the Stroke Association works to support those affected and also to fund research into stroke prevention.
My family has been affected by stroke, luckily there wasnt too much damage but it could have been a lot worse. By providing much needed funds to the Stroke Association you will be helping to fund pioneering research into stroke prevention and recoveryand motivating me to run that 13.1 miles!
